The 19-year-old [found dead in Prospect Park Lake](/body-of-teen-found-in-prospect-park-lake-second-instance-in-two-months/) on Monday night was a Brooklyn neighbor.

Police identified the deceased teen as Daniel O’Keefe. They have not released his address due to issues of privacy.

Although the cause of death has not yet been determined by the medical examiner, a police spokesperson said that “homicide has been ruled out.”

Cops were called to the scene on Monday, January 2, 2017, at approximately 6:50pm after passers-by discovered the body at the southeast corner of the park and called 911.

Police said there were no immediate signs of trauma.

[Although it was initially reported](http://nypost.com/2017/01/02/teen-found-dead-in-prospect-park-lake/?ref=bklyner.com) that O’Keefe was listed as missing before his death, police said this was not the case.
